    “This was a lovely cottage for two to three people.”

    We found it very cosy and it was very well equipped. It's very near to the castle and the shops. The steep road wasn't a problem as the cottage is near the top of the hill. So it's a short pull. However parking is a little way below the house so the combination of the two maybe difficult for some who are less mobile. Although the road is narrow, it is one way so no fear of another car meeting you on a bend! If we were to visit Harlech again we'd be very happy to book this cottage.
